You know of a Yorkie that was
killed by a cold? Ben just had a cold (caught from me unfortunately) and seemed to weather it just fine. He had the cutest little sneezes. He is just a little over 2 pounds. He also jumped from my arms and landed poorly one day. Thankfully he did not break anything. But it did show he was a little more durable than I had thought. I will still guard him from ever doing it again -- just as I would if my 13 pound Jack Russel was prone to do that. I just do not think they are all quite as fragile as some might think.
